similar conditions as that upon which our
city is built is affected In the manner assert
ed. The contrary however is claimed that
city not more than 100 years in eIistance,
for we cannot surely claim for Wilmington
any urban character before the date referred
to, is not possible of experiencing the per-
manent hurtful metamorphoss in the char
scter of its soil which the advocates of the
new sewerage ordinance lay down as their
main argument for Its enactment. The
most modern scientific data accedo to earth
tho faculty of being the swiftest rccupers-
atiye and most effective fecal absorbent yet
discovered. Its distributive and natural
powers are unequaled, The advocates Of
the new ordinance are challenged to prove
the applicability of their assertions in regard
to any inimical ssturation of the soil Of the
city.
In regard to that portion of the city north
of the eliminating ridge referred to, which
would include the region known as Forty
Acres and the territory which drains towards
the Brandywine In contradistinction to that
that flows into the Christisna, sewer coat
ing relatively small amount might be built
running from the north western part of the
city with connecting pipes from all the res
licences in that district, the sewer to take
course parallel with the Brandywins and
contsrminous with the agricultural sewer BE-
fore referred to. By these means safe
conveyance of all surface drainage would be
guaranteed, and thus prevented from finding
its way into the race as it undoubtedly does
now, and additionally by the construction Of
properly sealed sewer taking the direction
referred to both execremental matter would
be safely preoluded from influencing our
drinking water and all the surface drainage
now flowing into the Christiana, that Is to
say the northern drainage of the watershed
would be kept within channel and safely
conducted into the Brandywi below the
City Mill.

Only the First Count.

The able citation our morning cotem por-
airy gives of the peouniary phase of the
wsEing sewerage scheme can be considered
only al the first count in the indictment.
The Neus has thoroughly exposed the vi
eiousness of the propositions contained in
the ordinance.
We must be progressing fast towards a
certain kind of dyancement-probably In
the direction Of New York municipal bood-
lism when any one has the impudence to
sansly propose that the city shall pay IS, 00o,-
900 for a sewer system with ilIimitabls mis-.
cellaneous taxes tackled on to this pretty
little sum. The proposition is that each
householder averaging st0, there being
ii, 800 houses in the city, aud this perpetu-
atsd for 80 years!! Imagine the bonanza in
the pockets OF these modest men. And they
seem to think toe, that the citizens have no
Just cause for protesting. There shoald be
little liberation for such an impudent docu-
ment as this sewer ordinance is.
But again second count that Of the sew
srage needs has to be considered. d. we
need any such sewerage system tits claim
ed on authority equally well worth listening
to with that brought forward by the Waring
ordinance favorers that Wilmington does
not need arterial sewerage iu Its larger area.
All Of the region south of the Delaware
avenue ridge and it's continuation running
parallel with the Brandywine is thoroughly
we'll drained By natural methods. The
general fall tow ards the Christians is SO OBJ.
vious as may be seou on the occasion of any
rainstorm that argument in regard to thii
point should be restricted only to the ques
tion Of the disposition of fecal matter. Til,
statements made by the ordinance favorer
in regard to the poisonous saturation of tn,
soil has bsen fully met elsewhere in this is
sue. And, as regards sewer along the re
aion north of the Delaware avenue ridge j
is conceded, as explained elsewhers, tina
that may be suggested with very good Argu
rnsnt for It's construction.

him. His reception everywhere has
been kingly and enthusiastic, and
the multitudes have been overwhelm-

spect and patriotic admiration. Tn
questionably, Mr.. Cleveland is es-
teemed by the South as no other
President since the war has been
able to secure. His election was a
democratic victory and an over
throw of Republican misrule, it Is
true, yet his wise, safe and honest
administration has evinced the wis
dom Of the choice OF the people and
done great deal in reuniting The
North and South in fraternal good
will. Therefore, his distinguished
consideration in paying the Southern
people visit, accompanied by his
beautiful wife, has been highly APP
preciated and enjoyed. The South
ern people have literally strewn his
pathway with flowers. The pen of
history has never recorded a more
triumphant tour or grander ovation
rendered to king or potentate, than
the people Of the United States have
given President Cleveland. His re.
ception and entertainment in Allan
ia lacked none Of the elements of gen
uine Southern hospitality, and was
unparalleled in the intensity of its
profuseness. He must carry back to
Washington memory freighted with
pleasant recollections.
